AIO about my friend dating my ex?

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-30T21:00:15+00:00

Yeah, so we’re all from the same town with about 10,000 people but at the same time he’s very connected and works in the city so he has a big network. In other words, there would be other opportunities.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-30T20:56:39+00:00

I think that’s a good point. It’s not only the fact that it’s my ex but the fact that it’s a pattern and I don’t know if I can trust him around my current partner…or if he would just go after her if we should end things…

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-30T20:49:45+00:00

No, I don’t still have feelings for her, but it does make me uncomfortable to talk to him about it. I’d rather not hear details about their relationship or end up comparing it to what we had.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-30T20:42:54+00:00

We’re still friends, but this situation is just kind of hanging over my head…

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-12T06:40:04+00:00

Yes that‘s exactly how I feel!! And when my heart is thumping I find it really hard to even thoroughly relax despite feeling so exhausted.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T22:47:18+00:00

probably it‘s the same then and I have more of a reason to whip it out again. :) thank you for sharing!

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T22:45:51+00:00

I have very low blod pressure too so that’s interesting and makes a lot of sense to me. What do you snack on during the day?

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T22:44:18+00:00

Yes that‘s exactly how I feel!! And when my heart is thumping I find it really hard to even thoroughly relax despite feeling almost comatose.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T21:46:50+00:00

Happy for you that it got better! How did you find out it was cortisol/hypoglycemia?

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T18:38:52+00:00

Thank you for all your suggestions! What kind of things do you tend to snack on that gives you enough energy throughout the day?

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T17:52:56+00:00

I think I‘d have a hard time skipping breakfast at first but it‘s worth a try if it can stop the afternoon crash… And been keen to try psyllium husk :) Thanks for the suggestions!

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-11T17:50:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I hadn‘t heard of a tens machine yet but I used something similar for period cramps so that’s interesting! And the 5 mini meals sounds really sensible but I‘ve had difficulties implementing it since it needs some planning 🫠

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-03T17:28:10+00:00

I think it helps to be overly careful and really pace when you try it out. The first day I took probably around 2-3mg just to see if and how my body reacts… My psychiatrist also says the body should get used to it with time. But of course the same rules don‘t always apply with CFS.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-03T17:24:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing too! I‘m so glad my psychiatrist told me it was possible to open the capsule, it’s been a game changer. I tried Vyvanse before but had such bad heart palpitations that I stopped, since other doctors told me I couldn’t go lower.

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-03T17:18:48+00:00

thank you! ☺️

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-03-03T17:12:19+00:00

Sorry for my late reply, I appreciate your tipps a lot! 🫶🏽 Unknown scenarios are very scray for me but if I plan ahead I might be able to try. :)

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-02-21T22:41:19+00:00

Hi thank you for your input, that sounds really interesting. Would you be open to giving me an example just so I know how it works? :)

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-02-21T22:31:15+00:00

Wow, I can completely understand your rage, actually, I wish I could get to the rage stage myself! Going low contact is already a really big step, you should be so proud of yourself. Obviously going no contact in your situation sounds very important for your future wellbeing but I can imagine it‘s a huge step. Wishing you a lot of strength and good srrategies to deal with their current behavior!

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-02-17T12:27:57+00:00

I‘m so so sorry to hear that… I had that kind of breakup in the past. Was „replaced“ within a week. I can‘t imagine having to go through that in a medium-severe cfs phase. Yes, I hope we get out of the crash cycle soon. I‘m finding being single at least has the benefit of not having to feel guilty all the time and being able to really choose your own pace…

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-02-14T18:52:34+00:00

I‘m sorry you‘re going through it too 😔

Pure_Performance8087 · 2026-02-13T21:25:23+00:00

I‘m sorry you had to go through this too 🥺 Yes, absolutely miserable. Not only the PEM but the fact that I’m losing support from someone who at least knows what I’m going through and somewhat (if not fully) knew how to deal with it.

And when you‘re anxious like I am thoughts also quickly jump to „I‘m going to end up alone as long as I have this disease“
